WEBVTT WESTBOUND HIGHWAY FOUR AND 580. LET'S MOVE ONTO THE LATEST EDITION OF THE RIGS REPORT. KEVIN RIGGS IS WITH US THIS MORNING. WE WANT TO START WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SPEECH LAST NIGHT.

THE SENATE PASSED A BILL LAST NIGHT THAT WOULD BAN THE FUTURE SALES OF AUTOMATIC RIFLES WITH DETACHABLE MAGAZINES. ALSO A BILL THAT WOULD BAN THE USE OF LEAD AMMUNITION. ALSO A BILL THAT WOULD RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE BY TWO DOLLARS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND A BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW
